What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

Using Confluence and Jira is a huge time-saver for me because of the integration. All of my work is organized in Jira, and all of my papers, files, and other media are synced with Confluence. As a team, we utilize it for drafting documents. Confluence provides a safe method for sharing knowledge and working on projects among team members. Additionally, it features a number of Atlassian-approved plugins.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The tool allows us to create, share, and collaborate on material, add notes and chat discussions to documents, and manage projects and tasks. Team members from across the globe and across different domains are utilizing confluence to work on our project. This is a huge time saver.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Many plugins are available, and it might be difficult to pick the ideal one for our purposes. It takes a lot of time to do this. In most cases, though, following the guidelines is sufficient.

Atlassian's Confluence is an excellent application for establishing a collaborative workplace and exchanging ideas.

What differentiates Confluence from other similar products?

The solution feels intuitive like it’s related to the Wikipedia site everyone is used to so using a commercial solution for own company’s needs makes it an easy sell internally

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like the interface. If I’m going to work in a solution I like to enjoy the experience

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don’t like how complicated it can feel at times. It’s a feature rich solution but not everything is intuitive. I don’t like that occasionally a workflow routing process breaks without warning

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It’s a mature solution and you likely won’t have an issues but set time aside internally if you can to have someone learn the solution instead of having to back to a consultant every time something is needed

Pros

Acts with Integrity
Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
Reliable

Cons

Leverages Incumbent Status
Less Friendly Negotiation
